“Old Painless” from Box O’Truth has written a interesting article about fighting with a shotgun over

Birdshot is only for practice or shooting little birds.

“A sling is to a shotgun what a holster is to a handgun.”

    Had a 80 year old neighbor a few years ago shoot 2 robbers inside his home with a single barrel .410. One lived to stand trial, the other didn’t. ( The one who lived probably wishes he didn’t.)

    Good video. A good practical demonstration of many varieties of shotgun. There’s a lot more to cover: gauges pros/cons; barrel length; tactical movement; shot placement; ammo types with pros/cons; accessories; etc. But this was a nice introduction to the shotgun — IMO the best defensive weapon (dollar for dollar) available.
